Purpose and Base Features
PupSysInfo is a graphical interface with quick access to more than fifty utilities that provide information about the underlying system interface and functions of Puppy Linux.

From the File menu you can generate summary and complete reports of hardware and system activity (with privacy option), and optionally export the current report to the default text editor. Setting the editor to a fixed-width/monospace font will preserve the intrinsic text format of each report. The View menu provides a convenient way to change the size of text in the information window.

PupSysInfo-2.1.1
-Bugfix: The System Log report (var/log/messages) may become quite large over time and exceed the buffer limit of the PupSysInfo report window. In this release, the report will display the last 1300 lines of var/log/messages.

PupSysInfo-2.1
-Enhanced Sensor and Wireless Network reports.

PupSysInfo-2.0
-Major upgrade with improved content of multiple system reports (particularly the Network and Summary reports), and added Task Manager option to the System-Apps menu._________________PupMatesLast edited by radky on Sat 21 Mar 2015, 12:04; edited 20 times in total

Code for detecting the current window manager is missing from the initial release today. The corrected version of PupSysInfo-1.4 is now available. If you have the initial release, please download again.

Currently, PupSysInfo has four separate scenarios for the evaluation of PCI devices.

1 - If Barry's PupScan is available, PupSysInfo will use the PCI information generated by Pupscan (available in /tmp/chipnummod.txt). This will be the case in most recent Puppy derivatives.

2 - If PupScan is not available, PupSysInfo will check if the current version of lspci supports the -k switch. If so, PupSysInfo will use PCI information from lspci -knn. The -k switch, if supported, shows kernel drivers handling each device. If the -k switch is not supported, lspci may generate the following message: invalid option -- 'k'.

3 - If the -k switch of lspci is not supported, PupSysInfo will check if the deprecated scanpci utility is available. If so, the scanpci information will be used for the PupSysInfo PCI report.

4 - If scanpci is not available, PupSysInfo defaults to lspci -nn.Last edited by radky on Wed 11 Jan 2012, 23:05; edited 1 time in total

Hmm, something is wrong then, my lspci (which I will update) does not support the -k option, but Pup-sysInfo tries to use it.. Pupscan also relies on the -k option, in my install.. I do have scanpci installed, and its working fine.. I will investigate later..

EDIT: I did see workarounds, but they did not work for me,
so have compiled and updated to 3.1.7, that fixed it..
